Feldenkrais Class by Baby Liv: Foundations of The Feldenkrais Method - Human Development

This is a montage of a little baby named Liv doing what babies do during their first year of life.

It is these first beginnings that form the initial pieces that someone would learn while doing a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Lesson. Finding the floor under you, finding the support the environment gives you such that you can move, repetition that is driven by curiosity and exploration such that action can begin to be effortless and more refined.

This piece of baby development forms a major foundation of the work of Moshe Feldenkrais and his method, The Feldenkrais Method.

This video clip is the beginning of a series of video clips that will be used to highlight the foundations and principles of The Feldenkrais Method.

This has been compiled from a year of footage taken in Whistler, BC. Visit www.thenext25years.com for more information on the project.

FANTASTIC! This is a perfect demonstration of the unrestricted movement and natural gross motor development recommended for infants and toddlers by infant expert Magda Gerber. I write about her approach -- trusting infants to explore and play like this baby does, autonomously...independently. Children raised this way are graceful, poised, agile, self-confident.

@janetlansbury HI Janet - thanks! I just posted a little snippet of "Replicating Magda Gerber" on my channel. Irene. Many feldenkrais training will use the Gerber vid of "see how the move". In my training we watched it on our first day or training, and then on our last day 4 years later to see all the developmental milestones we as adults had explored!

@irenegutteridge Hi Janet

Yup, you may. Feel free to check out our DONATE page and considering making a contribution to the project which will go to developing Baby LIv Part 2 and the next component of foundations, THe Martial Arts.
